Garmin® Charges into the Two-Way Radio Market
with Rino®' GPS Devices

OLATHE, Kan.  Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin
Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), today introduced its first two GPS-enabled
handheld devices for the Family Radio Service (FRS) and high-performance
General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) markets  the Rino
110 and Rino 120. These GPS devices integrate radio functionality
to provide two-way voice communications up to two miles using
FRS channels and up to five miles using GMRS channels.

Inspired by the distinctive offset FRS and GPS antennas that
give the devices its Rhinoceros-like appearance, Garmin designed
the Rino series as powerful, robust Radios Integrated with Navigation
for the Outdoors. They are also the only waterproof two-way radios
on the market.

What really separates the Rino from the rest of the FRS/GMRS
herd is the ability to "beam" your exact location to
another Rino user within a two-mile range.

Garmin has received a waiver from the Federal Communications
Commission, making it possible for the company to provide "peer-to-peer
position reporting" on the Rino series using the FRS spectrum.
Garmin also has a patent pending on this technology. So you can
transmit your location to a friend or family member, and they
can see the distance and bearing from your position to theirs
on a Rino display. In short, this could be a life-saving feature
in an outdoor emergency by helping rescuers pinpoint your location
or it could be used simply for rounding up the family at an amusement
park.

"We have brought together two great technologies in the
Rino to deliver a compact communications and navigation device
to outdoor enthusiasts," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's
director of marketing. "This rugged device is for everyone
who prefers to travel light, but who wants the safety and comfort
offered by a GPS device with FRS/GMRS capabilities."

The Rino boasts GARMIN's traditional tough, lightweight
and waterproof design to handle the rigors of any outdoor adventure.
And because the Rino has standard FRS capabilities, you can talk
to friends or family who own conventional FRS radios. The Rino
goes beyond the normal two-mile FRS range to support additional
voice communications capabilities using GMRS, delivering a range
of up to five miles.

The Rino 110, in its bright yellow case, will offer standard
FRS/GMRS features like 22 channels, 38 squelch codes and external
voice activation (VOX). It also incorporates GARMINs powerful
12-channel GPS receiver for position accuracy of less than 10
feet when enabled to receive enhanced GPS data from the Wide Area
Augmentation System (WAAS). The Rino 110 has standard navigation
features like extensive waypoint storage, TracBack® technology,
multiple position formats (including MGRS and Loran TD) and a
built-in trip computer.

The olive-colored Rino 120 takes all the features of the Rino
110 and adds a basemap of North and South America that includes
major cities, highways, thoroughfares, rivers, lakes, coastlines
state and national borders, and railways. The Rino 120 has eight
megabytes of internal memory for downloadable cartography from
GARMIN's exclusive line of MapSource® CD-ROMs  providing
topographic, bathymetric, and street-level map information. It
also incorporates a voice scrambler for secure communications
and a vibration mode for "silent" calls from other Rino
users.

Other specific features of the Rino 110 and Rino 120:

Ergonomic design for one-hand operation, with Call, Press-To-Talk
(PTT) and Mode buttons on the side, Power/Backlighting button
on top, and dedicated map zoom buttons in front

The Rino 110 and 120 are expected to be available in the second
quarter of 2002 with a manufacturers suggested retail price
of $194.27 and $267.84, respectively. The Rino 110 will ship standard
with a lanyard, belt clip and user's manual, while the Rino
120 package will also include a PC interface cable.
